A thing, until it is everything, is noise, and once it is everything it is silence..
Injury, when it is slight, upsets me; when it is strong it calms me..
I have been my own disciple and my own master. And I have been a good disciple but a bad master..
If you are good to this one and that one, this one and that one will say that you are good. If you are good to everyone, no one will say that you areā¦.
Would there be this eternal seeking if the found existed?.
My heaviness comes from the heights..
All the suns labor to kindle your flame and a microbe puts it out..
Not using faults does not mean that one does not have them..
A hundred men together are the hundredth part of a man..
I keep my hands empty for the sake of what I have had in them..
You are sad because they abandon you and you have not fallen..
The children whom nobody leads by the hand are the children who know they are children..
I know what I have given you, I do not know what you have received..
Man, when he is merely what he seems to be, is almost nothing..
I have scarcely touched the sky and I am made of it..
I have come one step away from everything. And here I stay, far from everything, one step away..
When I am asleep I dream what I dream when I am awake. It's a continuous dream..
No one is a light unto himself, not even the sun..
Not believing has a sickness which is believing a little..
When the superficial wearies me, it wearies me so much that I need an abyss in order to rest..
When I believe in nothing, I do not want to meet you when you believe in nothing..
